Eau Propre = Bonne Santé
Poster
Collaboration with Jaana Davidjants
500 x 700 mm, screenprinted at the Fleischerei in Berlin
Bafilo, Togo
February 2007


As I was about to visit my brother living in Togo, I decided to create a poster for the municipality. He suggested an informational poster about the proper uses of water would be very useful. He came up with eight points, such as boiling water to disinfect it,  washing one's hands prior to cooking,  and not drinking water from


rivers. We agreed that a very simple headline (Clean water = Good health) would work best. Icons were created to communicate each point, intended to also reach people who could not read French. The screenprinted posters were given to the hospital, schools, the aids clinic, the water department, and a traditional healer.
